We have to act urgently to defend our democracy. Deepfakes and disinformation poison our politics and put candidates and politicians at risk.
The Government has an opportunity to tackle these threats to our democracy. The Representation of the People Bill is an important step forward in strengthening our democracy, as well as extending the right to vote to 16 and 17 year olds. But current plans contain gaps when it comes to voting reform, cryptocurrency donations and social media regulation, which I urge the Government to address.
